Never thought I'd see *that* happen.

You can't say "the copyright law is unjust in the case of Activision not wanting to support Linux" and "the law is just in case of GPL violations" at the same time. Either the law is just or it is not, it can't be both. This is were the hypocrisy starts and where inconsistency in your believes shows up.
For the x+1th time, copyright law is not one monolithic take-it-or-leave-it block. It consists of many parts, which together outline a collection of many related but separate rights, all of which are bundled under the umbrella term of "copyright". Even the name "copyright" is misleading, because it contains much more than just copying rights. (In Finland, we call it "author's rights", which is a somewhat more accurate description in my opinion).
Now then, where exactly do you get the idea that I can't be against one part of copyright law (or any law) while being ok with others? Do you have any kind of reasonable justification or basis for that view, other than an arbitrary decision on your part that I have to either accept all of copyright law or disagree with all of it? If so, I'd love to hear it.
Shit, I wish people would study these things even superficially before starting to mouth off at me. There's no hypocrisy on my part, my beliefs are entirely consistent here. Feel free to disagree, I'm not forcing anyone to agree with my views, but don't come calling me a "hypocrite" based on your entirely arbitrary criteria.

i'm not surprised to see that Lack-of-vision is still having their usual halfhearted faith to not let their games to be released to linux. id soft was the only studio that was able to release their games for linux. but Activision always had their bad decision done their way for others studios.

No, we didn't. Only some of us like to pretend that they did because they're trying to act smarter than they actually are...

So from now on Activision is obsolete for me. Thanks for letting us know.

If a law is unjust, it's more ethical to disobey it and be a criminal, than to obey it and add to it's legitimacy.

I think we all knew what everybody in this whole thread was going to say before it got said.
